Seattle: Providence Vincent House

Nothing compares to living at Providence Vincent House, located in the heart of Downtown Seattle and next to the historic Pike Place Market.

Providence Vincent House is a safe, secure apartment building for seniors (ages 62 years and older) on fixed incomes. Some of our apartments have stunning views of Elliot Bay and the Puget Sound. When you walk out our front door you are merely steps away from the world famous Pike Place Market, shopping, coffee shops, restaurants, museums and Victor Steinbrueck Park.

In addition to providing residents with an affordable place to call home, we offer services coordination and help our residents identify and access community resources. Providence Vincent House has a high staff-to-tenant ratio to make sure all of our residents get the support they need to remain independent.

“This is the best place because you are in the heart of the city.” –Providence Vincent House Resident
